The official release of Flash Player 9

On June 28, Adobe officially announced a new version of the Flash Player 9 client program (formerly known as Flash Player 8.5), which is much faster and more reliable than Flash Player 8.



The latest version of Flash Player, according to the company, is a safer, more compact and reliable environment for running Internet applications. In some respects, it surpasses the previous version up to 10 times. This is made possible by the implementation of ActionScript 3.0 and the new ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM) with Just In Time (JIT) compiler, which translates ActionScript into native machine code for maximum performance.



Flash Player is installed on more than 600 million computers and mobile devices worldwide, that is, it is de facto the standard environment for Internet applications. Not surprisingly, attempts are already being made to use Flash as a standard element of the Web 2.0 generation sites - this is the so-called Fjax technology, that is, Flash + Ajax. Indeed, because Flash is installed on the vast majority of computers connected to the network. According to NPD Group Research experts, the new version of Flash Player will be installed on 80% of such computers within 12 months.
